The following people can view your files if you choose to share your files with them:

• Your advisor(s)
• Other members of your household group

Fiduciaries to whom you have granted access to your accounts are unable to view/share files.

In order to adequately supervise and review advisor recommendations, Ameriprise Financial reserves the right to access and view any information that is uploaded, stored and shared with your advisor.  Accordingly, you understand and agree that when you use these features to share information with your advisor, you are also sharing that information with Ameriprise Financial and its employees in order for them to properly supervise advisor-client interactions.

Yes, you can rename a file by clicking the Edit File icon in the file actions menu. You can update the file name and add a description.

You can remove a file from your view by clicking the Delete File icon in the file actions menu.

Please be advised that Ameriprise Financial will save and archive any documentation that has been shared with your advisor, other employee or Ameriprise Financial representative, even if you remove the documentation from your view.

No, files you remove are not retrievable, so you should always retain the original versions of your files as official files of record. Documents and other files you upload are for reference only.

You cannot remove files provided to you through the Ameriprise corporate office, such as account statements, tax statements, financial confirmations, shareholder documents, documents requiring your electronic signature, and administrative documents. These documents will remain available online according to the existing timelines for each.

You can remove shared files and folders from your view, but they will remain available to their owners and anyone else they have been shared with.

There are two ways to share files:

• When you’re uploading a file, use the links in the "Share with" column.
• After you upload a file, use the links in "Share status" column.

There are two kinds of files that can’t be shared:

• Shareholder documents and documents that require your electronic signature can only be shared if you save them to your computer and then upload them to Documents.
• Files that are attached to accounts on which you are a fiduciary, but not an owner, can’t be uploaded and shared.

As a security measure, certain file types, like .zip files, will be blocked for upload. Files that contain anything prohibited are not allowed for upload. See “FEATURES FOR WORKING WITH YOUR ADVISOR ONLINE” in the User Agreement. Prohibited files will be deleted and your access to file sharing may be terminated.

To remove access from an advisor or member of your household group, delete the file from your Uploaded Files (this will remove access for everyone so ensure you save a copy before deleting). If needed, you can re-upload and re-share the file with others.

To remove access from a third party, click Shared in the line with the file name then click “remove access.” Access for third parties is removed automatically after 30 days.

Only you can make changes to your original files. The people you share with can save copies of your files and then make changes to those copies. Advisors and members of your household group can remove shared files from their own view but not from yours. Third parties can’t remove shared files from their view.

An email will be sent to your advisor and members of your household groups telling them a file was shared with them. They will also see an alert when they log in to the secure site. The alert is visible for up to 60 days or until they visit their Documents page.

For third parties (outside of Ameriprise) an email will be sent with instructions to sign in or register to view the shared file.

You will receive an email notification when your advisor or other members of your account group share a file with you. You will also see a document alert in the navigation when you log in to the secure site. The alert will remain visible for 60 days or until you visit your Documents page.

Files that are shared with you will show a Shared icon next to the name indicating you are not the owner of the file. Shared folders will show a Shared icon next to the name and have a Shared Folder icon indicating you are not the owner of the folder.

You can share files with people outside of Ameriprise, such as accountants, attorneys, and family members who aren’t Ameriprise clients.
